===== From helene.dumur@free.fr: very very nice and peacefull ===== From rich@brickbots.com: Nice theme, pretty good composition, and nicely executed. I especially enjoy how you played the warm sunlight against the cool encroaching darkness. Now here are the really picky bits. I think moving the foreground island a bit close to the camera, so it is not at the same distance from the camera as the boat would help to move the eye through the space. I think it also needs something, I'm not sure what bit it is a bit sparse and static. Perhaps bending some of the reeds a bit might break it up. Also making some of them a bit taller to break up the negative space above them might help. The clouds in the foreground look pretty nice, but they seem to get more and more artificial the further back in space they go, especially the ones on the right side above the island. Very pleasing and a solid entry. The light and fog effects are subtle and well handled. ===== From ryanbennitt@lycos.co.uk: Sunrise and misty morning provide a great setting for a render, you pulled off this natural setting with character. I rank this third overall. ===== From hildurka@simnet.is: A very beautiful image. The colors ar gorgeous. ===== From dungbeatle@mail.tds.net: A beautiful image! Love the colors. The proportions of the man in the boat seem a bit off. I wish there were more fog on the horizon. Loved it though! ===== From sshelby@shelbyvision.com: A really beautiful picture.=20 ===== From glenn@mccarters.net: Rich, deeply saturated color. Often this depth of color is becomes too = intense and ruins the image. But here, it really works well. Perfectly = captures that moody feeling at sunrise. The single figure in the = rowboat is a perfect focal point for the scene, and there are just = enough other details to keep the viewer interested. I especially like = the gentle swirling waves, and the small rocky island. The "light" is = great, but the "fog" theme is a little weak. Fine image overall. ===== From file: Notable for lighting ===== From file: I love the colour in this image makes it very great to look at! Notable for lighting ===== From file: Oh, my God. This is BEAUTIFUL. If you not win, who else?? So romantic and beautiful colour. Though I think you can add more colors to the sky. Nice work! ===== From file: beautiful scene. very realistic. rocks could use harsher texture, and the "fisherman" seems a bit effeminate with the skinny waist. Notable for composition, lighting
